  • Records of correspondence or enquiries from you;
  • Details of transactions you carry out with us;
  • Details of agreements, contracts, sales and other business-related activities you carry out with us.

How does RSPH collect information?

Information is obtained by us, either directly or indirectly, by you submitting an enquiry about our products and services via our website, over the telephone, interactions via social media (including Facebook, LinkedIn etc) and the public domain in general.

What should I do if my personal details change?

We strive to maintain the integrity and accuracy of your personal information at all times. If your personal information changes at any time or our records appear to be incorrect, please inform us immediately so that we may update or correct our records accordingly.

Can RSPH contact me?

We (and other parties previously mentioned) may contact you by post, telephone, e-mail, SMS and other electronic means, to inform you about services, products and offerings available from RSPH, specific RSPH entities, or selected third parties, which we believe may be of interest to you, unless you have unsubscribed from receiving such communications. We will only send you marketing communications if we are entitled to do so under Applicable Laws.

Your participation is completely voluntary. You may unsubscribe or opt out from receiving such communications from RSPH or its entities by accessing your online customer profile by making use of the “Unsubscribe” option available on the relevant communication or by contacting Customer Service at any time.

You may also contact us utilising the contact details set out in this Statement if you have previously asked not to receive marketing communications from us but would now like to hear from us with news on RSPH products and services.

Is my information safe with RSPH?

We continuously implement technical and organisational security measures in order to protect the data we hold against unauthorised access as well as accidental or wilful manipulation, loss or destruction.

It is also important that you take all necessary and appropriate steps to protect your personal information yourself (for example, by ensuring that any login details, including passwords and access codes are kept secure).

We may retain your personal information indefinitely, unless you object, in which case we will only retain what we are permitted or required to do so in terms of Applicable Laws.

You have a right to object on reasonable grounds to the processing of your personal information where we claim such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, your legitimate interests, or the legitimate interests of a third party to which the information is supplied.
